After finishing up all the necessary tasks, Lin Mo finally had some time to rest.

He yawned, glanced at the time, and sighed helplessly.

It was four in the morning, and dawn was almost breaking.

After thinking for a while with his extremely confused mind, he did not choose to take the star raft of the Construction Bureau, but instead took the star raft home directly back to his own home.

Back to work? What a joke! He was exhausted after a long day, and the key issues had already been resolved. Tomorrow, he would only have to deal with some minor, insignificant, but troublesome matters.

As for handling the aftermath, Qingque is more than capable of doing it.

After all, there's no danger involved in this kind of thing.

As for myself, I definitely need to relax.

Fu Taibu had given himself a week to handle this task... but he resolved it in about a day, leaving him with six days to go...

What should I do?

Of course, it's to slack off! What's the point of working so hard if I don't slack off?!

As Lin Mo thought about it, he couldn't help but smile.

I'll take a nap tonight, and tomorrow I'll take Qingque to hunt for the Imperial Jade and stroll around Changletian. As for the sheepskin scroll...

Hehe, that thing can't be rushed, there's no use in being anxious, even if Lin Mo wanted to resolve it quickly, there's nothing he could do.

Just then, his star raft arrived at its destination, and he returned home.

I went into the bedroom, turned on the light, lay on the bed for a while, looked at the white ceiling above my head, and breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Although everything seemed to be under my control, failure could occur at any moment if even one link in the chain went wrong.

He was under immense pressure, having taken matters into his own hands by burying his own methods in related events without consulting the person in charge or the Earth Balance Division. If he was not careful, the original plan would collapse completely.

This is clearly a high-stakes gamble.

Even so, Lin Mo still felt it was worth a try; sometimes you have to take a gamble.

You agree, right, Qingque...

But in any case, the result was still very satisfactory.

Now, all that's needed is to deal with the parchment scrolls, and that should be about it.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo stood up, walked to his bookshelf, ran his hand over the spines of a row of books, and finally stopped on the somewhat old book.

As Lin Mo gazed at the ancient book, an image of a proud and adorable blonde girl involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

That was a friend of his from the orphanage, a friend from another race.

Thinking about it carefully, it's been almost a few years since we last met. Although we sometimes chat on our phones, the other person is very busy with work, unlike me, who's a lazy bum. As a result, after entering the workforce, we've had much less communication.

However, as the saying goes, a gentleman's friendship is as light as water. Although he hadn't seen her for a long time, Lin Mo felt that based on his understanding of her, as long as he shamelessly asked her, she would still come back to help him.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo chuckled to himself.

He took out the heavy ancient book, placed it on the desk, and gently stroked the somewhat rough cover, feeling the weight of civilization.

After a long silence, he opened the book. The ancient characters on it were dazzling, and from the perspective of a Xianzhou person, they looked like they were written in dog's scrawl.

But what's different is that each character above has its own charm and its own meaning.

Clearly, this script has its own story, a story about the rise and fall of civilizations.

If Cheng Ling were here, he would be absolutely shocked.

Because the characters on it are almost exactly the same as those used on the parchment!

Lin Mo couldn't help but smile.

What a coincidence!

Thinking about it, he took out his phone and found a user with a blonde, blue-eyed cartoon avatar.

He sent a message.

"Are you there? Do you have time to come back to Luofu and have a meal together?"

After sending the message, Lin Mo turned off his phone, lay down on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep.

No need to say more, the other party understands.

...

"Ding-dong." A notification sound rang out.

Meanwhile, in a logistics department of Xianzhou Yaoqing, Susan, who had been working overtime at her computer desk until the early hours of the morning, slowly opened her eyes. She yawned lazily, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and muttered, "Really, it's that rude guy who sent me a message in the middle of the night."

As she spoke, she stretched out her arms and legs, perfectly showcasing her slender waist.

Then, looking annoyed, he picked up his phone.

"Huh?"

With a gasp, Susan's annoyance vanished, replaced by surprise and delight. However, she quickly frowned and began to ponder, fiddling with her chin.

"Tsk tsk, this guy usually ignores me, why did he suddenly remember me now?"

They were friends from the orphanage when we were young, and later classmates in college.

Susan was one of the few people who knew anything about Lin Mo, this somewhat mysterious and old-fashioned guy.

But based on her years of experience together, Susan knew that the other party never did things directly, and this invitation to go back to Luofu for dinner was probably a roundabout way of asking questions.

She knew that, given that guy's nature, he probably wouldn't come to her unless he needed something. The fact that he suddenly sent her this message meant he must have something to ask of her.

Furthermore, Lin Mo must have run into serious trouble this time. Otherwise, why would he be willing to send me a message in the early hours of the morning?

Thinking of this, Susan crossed her arms and couldn't help but let out a cold snort.
